This is necessary to get rid of sys-fs/udev from your system without settling for keeping its files around just for some packages to work.
It should already support eudev nicely. What are you seeing?
It works alright but you still need virtual/libgudev installed in order to emerge networkmanager, which pulls in sys-fs/udev. The following is what `emerge -av networkmanager` gives me [ebuild N ] sys-fs/udev-216 USE="acl firmware-loader gudev kmod -doc -introspection (-selinux) -static-libs" 0 KiB [ebuild N ] virtual/libgudev-215-r1 USE="-introspection -static-libs -systemd" 0 KiB [ebuild U ~] net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.0 [0.9.10.1_pre20141101] USE="bluetooth* dhclient ncurses nss ppp wifi -connection-sharing -consolekit -dhcpcd -gnutls -introspection -modemmanager* -resolvconf (-selinux) -systemd -teamd {-test} -vala -wext* -zeroconf" 0 KiB [blocks B ] sys-fs/udev ("sys-fs/udev" is blocking sys-fs/eudev-1.10-r2)
...out of curiosity, 'emerge -1pv sys-fs/eudev' ?
[ebuild R ] sys-fs/eudev-1.10-r2 USE="gudev hwdb introspection keymap kmod modutils openrc rule-generator -doc (-selinux) -static-libs {-test}" ABI_X86="(64) (-32) (-x32)" 0 KiB
...OK, a stupid idea: try putting 'sys-fs/eudev -abi_x86_32' in package.use.stable.mask, then try 'emerge -1pv eudev networkmanager'. Cause if 'gudev' is set on eudev, requirements should be met.

This isn't a bug. It's your local configuration problem until proven otherwise.
